COMBINED BILER AND BADATOR.

Application lcd November 27, 1916.

To all fic/wut 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ANDR M. Meer zai'iorr, a subject of the King of Greece, residing at Buffalo, Erie county, in the State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Boilers and Radiators, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact specification.

My invention relates to improvementsl in heating apparatus, and the same has for its object more particularly to provide a simple, c'llicient and reliable heating apparatus which requires no piping, and which may be readily installed without calling for skilled labor.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a heating apparatus comprising a combined boiler and radiator which shall be neat in appearance, compact in form, and readily portable.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a combined boiler and radiator which may be enlarged or extended propon tionally as greater capacity is demanded.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a combined boiler and radiator, in which the heat emitting or extended surface of its radiator portion is many times greater than, but in predetermined proportion to, the heat absorbing surface of its boiler portion.

Further, said invention has for its object to provide a combined boiler and radiator having means therein for receiving a burner and a supply of liquid fuel for operating said burner.

Further, said :invention has for its object to provide a combined sectional boiler and radiator in which only certain of said sec tions have their surface exposed to the direct action of the heating` agent and act as heat absorbing members, and the other of said sections, although connected to and communieating with said. `:heat absorbing nembers, act only as the heat emitting or radiator members.

Other objects will in part be obvious and in part be hereinafter described.

To the attainment of the aforesaid objects and ends, my invention consists in the novel details of construction, and in the combination, connection and arrangement of parte Specification of Letters Patent.

hereinafter more fully described and then pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate like parts- Figure l is a front view showing one form of a combined boiler and radiator constructed according to and embodying my said invention;

Fig. 2 is an end view thereof;

Fig. 3 is a back view;

Fig. i is a section taken on the line 4i t of Fig. l showing the fuel compartment.

Fig. 5 is a similar view on the line 5 5 of Fig. l, showing the combustion chamber and the fine extending therefrom;

Fig. 7 is an end view of the parts shown at Fig. 6, and

Fig. 8 is a detail perspective View showing the fuel receptacle and means for supporting the same.

In the said drawings l() designates the combined boiler and radiator as a whole, comprising a series of similarly formed sections presenting the general shape or outline of ordinary radiator sections. Of said sections the middle sections il, 1lb, 11C, in addition to acting partly as heat emitting surface, serve principally as the boiler or heat absorbing members, while the sections secured to the ends of said sections llL and 11, serve primarily as heat emitting surface. l

Each of the boiler sections 11a, 11b, llc has its lower front portion recessed at l2 to form a combustion chamber 18 within which is located 'a burner la. The upper end of said burner extends through an opening in a horizontal plate 14a supported upon lugs 14th, the opening in said plate 14a being larger in diameter than said burner so as to provide an annular air space lll-C.

The portions of said boiler sections 11, 1lb, l1, above and to the re( r of the combustion chamber 13 are provided with rims or flanges l5, 15 whose edges meet when said sections are assembled, and centrally of said boiler sections lla, 1lb, llc, their opposing surfaces are provided with webs or tins 15, which meet and :term a revertible flue 15". Each of said webs or tins 15 extends downwardly from a point near the top of the sections and thence rearwardly and downwardly and rearwardly again adjacent the rear lower edge et the section. The vertical portions of said webs or tins 15a, also serve to form the rear wall of the combustion chamber 13, while its side walls are formed by solid partitions 16, 16 formed as a part of the boiler sections 11a, 11C.

The boiler sections 11a, 11b, 11c have their` rims or flanges 15, 15 partly cut away at the rear of said sections to form an outlet opening 17 over which is secured a plate 1S having a flanged opening 19 therein adapted to be connected to a suitable tlue or stack communicating with the outer atmosphere.

The radiator sections 11, 11 adjoining the boiler sections 11, 11, are also recessed similar to said boiler sections 11, 11b, 11C, to form chambers or compartments 20, 20 and are provided along their recessed edges with rims or flanges 21, 21 which serve to form the top, bottom and rear walls for said chambers or compartments 20, 20. In order to insure a circulation of air through said chambers or compartments 20, Q0, the upper and lower horizontal portions of the rims or flanges Q1, 21, may be provided with recesses or apertures 22, 22.

The side walls of the chambers or compartments 20, 20 are formed by solid partitions 23, Q3 Jformed integrally with the end sections 11, 11d.

The end sections 11d, 11d are also provided with feet 24, 24, in order to support the entire apparatus at a suitable height above the floor. j

It will, of course, be understood that the portions of the boiler and radiator sections which are not occupied by the chambers or compartments 13, and 20, 20, are hollow and form water lines, and that all o't said scctions are provided upon both sides, adjacent to their upper and lower edges with bosses 25 into which are fitted connecting nipples 2.6.

27 denotes a front or cover plate which is secured at its edges to the sections 11d, 11, 11, and is provided with openings Q8, 28 registering with the chambers or compartments 20, 20, and a smaller opening 29 registering with the intermediate or combustion chamber or compartment 13.

The openings 28, 28 are provided with doors 30, 30 which are pivotally secured at their lower edges to the front or cover plate 27, and provided with centrally located vertical sight apertures a, 30a, and the opening 29. is provided with a similarly operating door 31 having a sight opening 31 therein provided with a transparent section of suitable material.

Upon the inner side of the front or cover plate 9,7 adjacent to its lower edges is secured a. longitudinal pipe 32 having rear- *ardly extending horizontal branches 33, 3ito whose inner ends are secured pans 34', 3l located in the chambers or compartmems 20, 20, and an intermediate branch 35 to thel inner end et which is secured the burner 1l.

Upon the inner side et each oit they doors 30 is secured a glass container or tent 3G tor-the hydrocarbon or liquid 't'uel with which the burner let is to be operated. Each of said containers er tents 3G, is provided at its base with a normally closed, springpressed valve 37, having a projecting stem 3S, and each o'li said containers or tents 3G is so positioned upon its door 30 with respect to its cooperating pan in its respective chamber or compartment 20, that when said door 30 is fully closed, the projecting stem 3S of the valve 37 on said container or font 3G will engage the betteln of said pan 3l, and open said valve 37, and permit a certain amount o't fuel te enter and partly till the said pan 34.

In order to permit of the easy removal ot the containers er oil fonts 3G trom their respective doors, and to hold the same dul v in position thereon when said doors are opened or closed, said doors are provided upon their rear sides with segmental. skeleton :trames 39, B9. comprising' a pair ol`A Hanged side members 10. 470. secured together by transverse members l1, all. 1Q. rThe member 4Q is provided at its middle with an upwardly extending tongue or projection which is adapted to engage with a projecting edge ot a strap or frame mem ber 44e embracing the lower edge ot they container or Ytout 3G. The said projection 43, and the transverse member 41 serve to hold the container er 'tout duly in position upon the door 30 while the latter is being opened or closed. A

In order to permit o't the iilling ol the, apparatus with tluid or water, a illing nox- Zle t5 is xsecured to oney ot the end sections 11d, and provided with a plug l(i l'or sealing the same. The said nozzle l5 is located at such height as to prevent the over-filling ot the apparatus. and te provide sulieient' space to permit of the expansion ot the, water or tluid.

The operation et the apparatus is mainly obvious. It is to he noted` however. that in operation the hot gases and products et combustion from the combustion chamber 13 in passing upwardly and downwardly through the lines to the outlet 1S at the rear et said boiler sections impinge upon the surfaces ol" said sections. and serve to heat the water therein. As the water within the boiler sections becomes heated it rises te the top thereof and then flows therefrom through the upper connecting nipples into the radiator sections which will be heated thereby.
